Dreaming of a Road Trip?

While your travel partner is driving, snuggle down on the passenger side into a pillow just the right size to squish between the headrest and the window.  While you catch a bit of shuteye, you won't feel any cold air thanks to the insulating and warming properties of wool.  This reversible pillow is made in two pieces and seamed with a crochet stitch that includes a corner loop for carrying.  The pillow back features a nubby seed stitch stripe and the front a geometric design that can either be worked stranded or intarsia. Originally designed in an Aran-weight yarn, the original design has been altered for this kit, using our 3-ply bulky weight Sheridan in an exciting Southwest-feel colorway.
